Brian is building a big compost bin. We’ll have the current compost ground space for leaf and grass, yard stuff and use this one for kitchen scraps, paper, cardboard. We were having trouble with wild animals like raccoons plowing through the ground pile and spreading garbage everywhere.

We had a nice snow cover this winter, but I did not turn the leaf pile even once since last fall. Thus the leaves are still not compost, or even half done. Well the bottom layer is ready but still. Going to wet down and commence to turning and stomping.

I have so many volunteer tomato plants growing in the compost still it’s unreal. My son S-bop picked out some and put them in the garden with the other tomato plants.

Tomatoes June 28th 2008

It’s hard to believe that in a month the tomato plants will be as high as the stakes and bearing fruit! I can’t wait, garden tomatoes ripened in the sun are the best

It is not that serious. I throw most of our kitchen waste in there; veggie, grain, fruit waste, plate scrapings. You can also put in toilet paper rolls, b&w newspaper (and color if your local paper use soy-based inks), paper bags, leaves, grass, so much stuff! almost any organic garbage not animal flesh.
